From Nirado comes a great safety idea for the wonderful gemstones and other “collar tags” that prevent bugs:

“Time to order my shoo-tags so they’ll be here when I need them.  This year I’m thinking of getting a mosquito one as well as flea and tick.  I like to sew them in the inside of the collar next to the neck because my kids love to play and wrestle and this way they won’t pull them off each other.”
